Like the original poster here I cannot figure out how to share a public video feed of either an Indoor IQ (2020) or a Nest Cam Battery 2021. @JohnF the article you shared does not help, see below.
INDOOR IQ
This article says that it's possible to share a public feed of the Indoor IQ video from a computer and that there should be a button to click called "Camera sharing" (step 3) in the Nest app (home.nest.com). However there is no button called Camera sharing instead there's just a section with the same name (not clickable) and no button. I am using Mac OS 11.6.1 with Google Chrome Version 95.0.4638.69 (Official Build) (x86_64). I've also tried in the latest version of Safari. The 'Camera sharing' section of the Settings panel says the following:
"Camera sharing
Not shared
Only family account members can see your camera’s video.
Get a link you can use to share your camera’s live video stream. Video History and Clips won’t be shared. Family account members can always see this camera.
Here is a screenshot of my settings page with the Camera sharing section visible. https://photos.app.goo.gl/nRZd6jZHxpv9ihQu7
The only thing that is clickable is the Learn More link which takes me to the help article I shared above. So I don't see how to share the feed?
My indoor IQ has software: 4820010 and the Model is Nest Cam IQ (in the settings page of nest app)
Nest Cam (battery) 2021
Obviously this camera doesn't appera in the Nest app (BOOO). So when i look at it in the Google Home app and play around in settings I cannot see a way to share it's public feed. Is it possible? How do i do it?
Thanks in advance.

So even though Google tells you that they are migrating Nest accounts to Google Home if you want to share the camera feeds to a Google Home Family Member each family member has to also create an account with Nest. Then Google will figure out that you added them to Google Home and give them access.

Google is screwing the pooch with the Google Home migration stuff….. horrible experience…. Way too many competitors and other options….

computers were move around. At some point I lost the direct contact to the nest camera group but I can sign in through google. Then I lost the direct link to the same group of cameras on my iPhone. My husbands is still intact. 🤷♀️ I’ve tried to set up family sharing but things aren’t fixed. Maybe reboot?
